It’s REALLY annoying that I gotta remember to switch from HDMI to Headphones. Is there a good “fix” to this that it will automate between the two?

All I want is if the headphone been plugged in through the 3.5mm jack is to use it otherwise default to HDMI.

    Does your pulseaudio config have the line load-module module-switch-on-port-available?

      Where do I manually find this config to check?

        Should be /etc/pulse/default.pa, you can try if it works beforehand by loading the module via pactl. If it works add the line from above to the file and then restart pulseaudio. ($ pulseaudio -k)
